Job 27:20-23
Job 27:13-23 The Message (MSG)
“I’ll quote your own words back to you: “‘This is how God treats the wicked, this is what evil people can expect from God Almighty: Their children—all of them—will die violent deaths; they’ll never have enough bread to put on the table. They’ll be wiped out by the plague, and none of the widows will shed a tear when they’re gone. Even if they make a lot of money and are resplendent in the latest fashions, It’s the good who will end up wearing the clothes and the decent who will divide up the money. They build elaborate houses that won’t survive a single winter. They go to bed wealthy and wake up poor. Terrors pour in on them like flash floods— a tornado snatches them away in the middle of the night, A cyclone sweeps them up—gone! Not a trace of them left, not even a footprint. Catastrophes relentlessly pursue them; they run this way and that, but there’s no place to hide— Pummeled by the weather, blown to smithereens by the storm.’”
Job 27:20-23 King James Version (KJV)
Terrors take hold on him as waters, A tempest stealeth him away in the night. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: And as a storm hurleth him out of his place. For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand. Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.
Job 27:20-23 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Terrors overtake him like a flood; A tempest steals him away in the night. The east wind carries him away, and he is gone, For it whirls him away from his place. For it will hurl at him without sparing; He will surely try to flee from its power. Men will clap their hands at him And will hiss him from his place.
Job 27:20-23 New Century Version (NCV)
Fears come over them like a flood, and a storm snatches them away in the night. The east wind will carry them away, and then they are gone, because it sweeps them out of their place. The wind will hit them without mercy as they try to run away from its power. It will be as if the wind is clapping its hands; it will whistle at them as they run from their place.
Job 27:20-23 American Standard Version (ASV)
Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place. For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand. Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.
